We "discovered" the NSB Marine Discovery Center (MDC) in 2002. Two or 3 times each year we enjoy their boat and kayak tours, exhibits of local fish and lagoon critters, lectures and volunteer projects. The MDC now has significantly grown! We just returned from a beautiful week in NSB. Got to volunteer for 2 conservation projects (making oyster habitat structures and extracting many invasive Brazilian pepper trees). Plus, took friends on their 2 hour boat tour of local Indian River Lagoon. Each comfortable tour has an experienced Captain and a local Master Naturalist to point out and describe the many wildlife seen (birds, dolphins, fish, etc.), the vegetation and trees (especially the 3 critical types of mangroves and palms), the local aquatic features and islands plus important history, especially of the indigenous people who lived in the area and Florida for thousands of years. Thankfully, the river waters are now cleaner and rarely display trash or plastic bags. On our tour, the naturalist (Patrick) made several efforts with a boat hook to finally reach a large plastic bag and then described how all the tours look closely to remove pollution.
Beautiful tour!!
